Abstract excerpt
Regulation of vascular smooth muscle Ca(2+) channels by oxygen tension contributes importantly to hypoxic vasodilatation. We previously described the inhibitory effects of hypoxia on the recombinant human cardiac L-type Ca(2+) channel alpha(1C) subunit (hHT isoform) expressed in HEK 293 cells. We now demonstrate that hypoxia inhibits only one of the three naturally occurring splice variants of this channel that...
